I propose blocking all access to Joomla's administrator login page and front-end user login (if you don't use it) because I constantly see a-hole bots in my logs trying to hack my site. Add these lines to the Nginx site configuration.# DENY ACCESS TO JOOMLA ADMIN
location ~* /administrator.* {
deny all;
}
# DENY ACCESS TO JOOMLA USER LOGIN
location ~* /component/user.* {
deny all;
}
Now how do you access the Joomla administrator login page?? Serve your site on another port using a simpler configuration, then setup your firewall to only allow your IP to access that port.
